Terra Ristorante, a Northern Italian restaurant located in the heart of downtown Greenwich, is opening its second location in Danbury, CT, the eighth restaurant for the Z Hospitality Group. Over twenty-five years ago, founder and owner, Ramze Zakka, opened Terra in Greenwich, the first of his eight eateries, to fulfill his dream of owning a restaurant that serves simple and delicious food in a more relaxed alternative to the already existing white glove and fast casual restaurants. Terra was a bistro that introduced authentic Northern Italian food where guests would feel like they were transported to Florence for a genuine dining experience. Everything from food and beverages to Italian music has been carefully curated to achieve this goal.

The Executive Chef of all eight of Z Hospitality's restaurants, Albert DeAngelis, will lead the culinary efforts in Danbury. His menu will include pizzas and wood-oven cooked dishes, homemade pastas, American Waygu Beef Carpaccio with white truffle oil, Milk-Fed Veal Milanese and Parmesan-Crusted Filet of Sole. Innovation has been the key to success in all Z Hospitality restaurants and Terra will offer the same unique and seasonal menus to continuously provide the most memorable dining experience.

The restaurant will feature an architecturally-designed dining room with vaulted ceilings and a floor to ceiling wall of glass doors that allow for countryside views, natural sunlight that will open in the spring and summer months to enjoy an outside grill and bar. Inside, guests will find their signature wood-burning oven, open kitchen dining area and an inviting bar where craft cocktails and an array of wines will be served.

“We are grateful for the ongoing enthusiasm in all of our lower Fairfield County restaurants and very much look forward to serving the northern part of the county as well as Westchester,” said Zakka. “We are thrilled to be able to offer something new and different to the community.”
